@OGPatriot03 Wow, . . . you equate a measure that is an attempt to deal with a pandemic with a terrorist attack. Is it just that you never learned how to logically reason or that you are just a wannabe demagogue? I had a cousin who sounded like you. He thought it was all a farce, to rob him of his freedom to chose paper or plastic. He refused to get vaccinated. He died last week of covid. He was smart like you. A veritable legend in his own mind. Like you. Was it Ambrose Bierce who during Civil War times defined patriotism as the last refuge of a scoundrel? All you have to do is look around and see who it is that does all the killing of other Americans to know that it's still true. The right wing-nut radicals in the USA are the most dangerous terrorist organizations for the average American. I suggest you resist them like you spout off about.

@Tac_3D You must have an irrepressible desire to demonstrate your idiocy in public.

@OGPatriot03 Terrorism is blowing up the Federal building in Oklahoma City. Terrorism is driving a car into protestors and killing them. Terrorism is attacking the Capital building and killing cops. Terrorism is doing drive bys on federal employees. Terrorism is pretending to be a medic and shooting people who are trying to disarm you. All done by "patriots"

@amacca2085 Since the scenario presented would not exist without nuclear weapons, I would say it has everything to do with them.

@chesslover8829 Lockdowns were worth a try pre vaccines. We really don't know, and can't know to what degree they impeded the inevitable spread of SARS. I actually feel quite relieved that most of my family, though extremely conservative, did get the full course of vaccinations. Actually David was in his fifties, which to me is young, a completely unnecessary death, caused by his belief in nonsense made up by the stoners living in their mom's basement who come up with all these Qanon fantasies. I am a centralist, who longs for the days that IKE was in the white house and am totally sick of both the idiots on the far right and far left. Who are ruining the USA. Of course these days the numb skulls on the right who fancy themselves conservatives but are actually radicals would think Eisenhower is a socialist.

China has way more nukes than you seem to think. Some of them were just discovered last week, more of them are not counted because they are unknown. China has never signed any nuclear treaty.

@zeektm1762 You do realize, do you not, that in order to attend public school, you have to be vaccinated against childhood diseases? The difference is that these vaccines have not been politicized by the ignorant. Don't think it matters? I knew a woman who never got vaccinated as a child, she visited India and when she returned she caused a local epidemic of the "mumps". Which though rarely deadly, I assure you is not fun, since I got all the childhood diseases as a child, back when there were not any vaccines for them. It's not such a hard dilemma if the people involved don't act like spoiled brats who believe nonsense, like their freedoms are being threatened by protecting them from the effects of various pathogens. By the way, thanks for educating me on facts that I knew fifty years ago.

@heroinboblivesagain5478 Oh, I agree with that statement entirely.

@zeektm1762 First of all the people who now consider themselves conservatives are not conservatives at all. Eisenhower was a conservative, but if he were in office today he would be considered a socialist by the people on the right -- who are radical right wing fascists. The puddin heads on the left are equally as ridiculous and deserve all the abuse they get. The difference is that the people who now consider themselves conservatives and progressives are out of touch with the mainstream and reality. This is largely due to the media, mass and otherwise that feeds them with lies 24/7. Fox news is a great example, as is msnbc, while not the most extreme, they sell lies 24/7 and then turn around and say that what they are presenting is not news but entertainment. Well you have to be pretty darn stupid to find either of them entertaining.

This is all so 20th century. Lets say that some state actor weaponized a virus or other pathogen and targeted it genetically. They could literally get rid of whomever was bothering them. Lets say China for instance has some beef with white people in general. No problem, start a pandemic that targets organisms that code for lactose tolerance. All white people and some others die. You could even pretend to offer aid to them while they succumb to the virus. The possibilities are endless. And real cheap compared to other strategic systems. You could code a virus that would infect everyone in the world before the first person demonstrated symptoms. You could already have such a virus and never even know it until it was too late.

@Ethorbit Well that certainly su#ks.
